    Hi all

    i got a problem with a set of Toshiba A80
    first time posting, pls forgive if got any mistakes.

    got a set of Toshiba A80 that is faulty. (centrino 1.6, 512mb
    Problems is that after powering it on, the notebook will be stuck at the POST screen, showing only "In Touch with Tomorrow, Toshiba" logo.

    Previously had sent to Toshiba Data Dynamics for servicing to check out what's the problem.
    They quoted the reply saying that the keyboard faulty, and mobo maybe spoil.
    Price quoted to repair for kb is $190, and advised not worthy to repair as mobo repair ex.

    However other than this technical problem, the A80 is perfect. Screen swee swee, the plastic cover protecting the top lid still on, and no dead pixels..

    Is it still worthy of repair?
    If yes, where can i bring to repair?
